Horrible Client Download

Just bought the game a couple of days ago.

And yes, having problem with downloading the game itself as well(the infamous 1/3/5 file(s) remaining).

I do not understand, it would be really simple for ArenaNet to put up the game file itself(.dat or all of them, update them as patches come) on some ftp server as a standalone download without the use of the client. Problem solved.

Thanks for the pointers. However, I pretty much googled all the possible solutions there are out there in regards to this issue. And tried most of them. I just have not submitted a ticket for my problem yet.

And it is quite ridiculous for the user-end to have to do so much just trying to get the game itself(not even to play it, but to get it). You would think ArenaNet would want their game to be hassle-free(or nearly so). A simple standalone download for the game files is the most straight forward solution.
